Lucas Wilhelm Hedénbäck argues that people fail at consistency because they chase quick results and miss how daily actions compound. Do the right thing every day and you get a good life. Do the wrong thing every day and you don't. Success is a marathon.
Why is it so hard to stay consistent? Why do I just stop when it gets tough? Well, most people want to rush. They want to accelerate the journey. Most people want to get things straight away. They don't understand the principle of compounding, how if you do the right thing every single day, you will eventually have a good life. If you do the wrong thing every single day, you will, on the other hand, have a bad life. And that's just how life works. A real winner plays the long game. He plays the marathon. He understands that great things takes time. He understands that without consistency, he'll never get to his destination. And the reason I say I say this is because developing yourself, becoming healthier, wealthier, more successful, is a lifelong journey. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Don't overcomplicate things. Strive to be better and better each day because consistency compounds. Do yourself a favor and keep that in mind next time you're about to give up on yourself.
